Kamila Kuc

Kamila Kuc, Ph.D. is a writer, experimental filmmaker and curator. Her work reflects her interest in how film, as a technology of memory, can be seen as an innovative creator of memories themselves.

Kuc is the 2016 Artist in Residence at Basement Films, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.

Her monograph on avant-garde film, Visions of Avant-Garde Film, is forthcoming with Indiana University Press.
